A creative spirit by nature, longtime artist and entrepreneur Marnie Grundman began writing as a way to release herself from the wounds of her past. She shares her life and experiences in hopes of inspiring and empowering others who have felt lost, broken and less than. More than just a survivor, Marnie is a surthrivor. A child who belonged to no one, missing at the tender age of 13, she experienced firsthand the best and worst of humanity. "She is living proof that no matter what life hands you, you have within you the spirit to rise, to rewrite the outcome of your story, to create a life filled with love and happiness."
